RESUMO
The nucleotide sequences of the origins of DNA replication (ori) of the S- and L-component (oriS, oriL) of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) standard genome were determined from HSV-1 strain Angelotti (ANG). In contrast to other HSV-1 strains, the ANG oriS sequence revealed an insertion of an TA-dinucleotide in an otherwise very conserved but imperfect palindromic sequence of 47 bp. The oriL sequence of the standard ANG genome was found to be identical to that of an ANG class II defective genome which exhibits a duplication of a 144 bp palindrome. A model is presented to explain the origination of the amplified ANG oriL sequences from the parental genome with a single copy of oriL via illegitimate recombination. Alignment of the ori sequences of HSV, adeno- and papovaviruses unveiled that the HSV ori region can be subdivided into two distinct sites of homology to the DNA initiation signals of papova- and adenoviruses, suggesting that the HSV origins of replication comprise elements for DNA replication by both, cellular and virus-encoded DNA polymerases.
